PAINTINGS IDEAL CENTERS FOR ROOM DECORATIONS

‘Beware of Amateurs' Is Warning B<l \EA ficrr'ic NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—The paintings of aspiring amateurs would all be consigned to attic oblivion along with the most ill-assorted wedding presents if Madame Desestret, director of the L’Elan galleries and specialist in modern decoration, had her way. "A beautiful painting should be the center of decoration in every room,” she declared recently. ‘‘But if you can not afford a fine painting, don’t ruin your home by substituting the efforts of a friend who likes to dabble in colors. Nor suffer the blight of a poor reproduction of a famous painting. ‘‘Break the bare wall space by hanging a well designed, colorful rug.” Picture Is Inspiration Modern decoration makes a picture the focal point of interest, according to Madame Desestret's theory. The entire scheme of colors, materials, etc., takes its inspiration from the style and period of the picture. Even the shape of the furniture and the texture of the hangings should be interpretations of the rhythmic forms in the composition of the picture, she believes. This theory of decoration has been developed only : nee the war. Before that it was considered smart to pick pictures to ‘‘fit” certain corners, spaces and colors in a room, she pointed out. Detail Becomes Important The stress placed on the picture by the modern school of decorating has given artists the prestige of Renaissance days. ‘‘As everyone realizes, our modern art actually has gone back to the primitive attention to detail,” Madame Desestret continued. “Modern furniture derives more from this spirit of the primitive paintings than it docs from furniture of those periods. “The first nineteenth century efforts in ‘modernism’ were in painting and the first modern decorators were really painters. Perhaps that explains the importance of art in the home decoration today." Indian Pottery Is Good Primitive and modern pottery made by our American Indians are perfect accessories for the modern apartment, this decorator believes. Rugs, silver and glass designed along primitive lines are also on her favored list. “If you can not afford a fine painting or an excellent reproduction, use a good modern rug as a wall hanging,” she advised. “Many outstanding artists have concentrated their interest on designing fine rugs suitable to be the center of modern rooms. “When the central theme of the room has been chosen, special attention must be given to lighting. Glaring lights and misplaced blobs of light can ruin any scheme of decoration. Lighting fixtures must be carefully chosen to harmonize with the style of furniture and the colors chosen.” Beware of Amateurs! Pictures have a strong effect on the subconscious mind, Madame Desestret believes, so that it is important to live only with pictures which you actually like. “One good picture is better than several bad ones, she maintains, even if there are several bare, walls. A picture which makes no pretenses is better than a bad copy of a fine original. On the other hand, she holds a mere reproduction of Picasso or some other famous artist far better than the well meaning but questionable perpetrations of your friend who “likes to paint."

LIBRARY IN THE MODERN MODE

——■■■■

In an attractive corner of a library done by L’Elan galleries of New York, the focal point of interest is a modern painting by Maucoussis. This is an abstraction in shades of brown and honey yellow, with accents of darker brown and black. The corner couch is in complete harmony with the painting, as it is colored in champagne colored kid, and stands on a base of zebra wood. The small table is burnished copper with shelves of black glass.

LAZY GLANDS

A fastidiously clean body; a scalp that’s a scandal. The white shame of American women. Dandruff! Get rid of dandruff. Anyone can. And no one can ever hide it. In its secondary stage, the infested scalp sheds enough dead scale to fill a tablespoon every twenty-four hours! And a simple treatment will end this disgusting condition! Dandruff is caused by lazy glands that won’t open and close." They need stimulating. You can do this with your finger-tips, dipped in Danderine, to dissolve the. gum that has fouled the pores. The worst caked scalp will soften under this massage. There will not be a speck of dandruff after one application. Do not neglect lazy glands, or the

Even its color is affected when roots are starved, and telltale streaks must be “touched up.” If you will only stimulate the glands you won’t have to use color restorers. that stay open are just as bad! Hair and scalp get oily and odorous —soil and smell-up hats. Danderine is a positive corrective of this evil condition. It’s a real medicine for sick scalps. And its fresh fragrance makes it a delightful thing to brush through the hair as the" finishing touch to head daintiness. And if you doubt that Danderine makes hair grow measure the length after using one thirty-five cent bottle!
